I feed mine 15-16% protein. that's feed we have here. mine are super crazy and love to get wet when it rains. luckily we don't get much rain.

I prefer to keep them separate from the other breeds. they are low in pecking order. I live in 9a zone (moved from 9b) and silkies are fine with heat. they need a shelter during the day as all the chickens do. no special care needed.

even if you could shipping to another part of the planet would be impossible. otherwise I would have already asked a lot of your birds.

I would love to have that red. I have 1 red roo with 1 buff (with partridge pattern on the wings) and 5 black ladies. I hatched 4 black chicks so far.

if you don't like her you can send her to me, lol. she is gorgeous!

after she eat and drinks put her back to the bator. take her out a few hours later and repeat. I found out that bator helps a lot with weak chicks.

luckily that crack was minor and as it was supposed to hatch soon I didn't take care of the crack at all. I do have a cracked indian runner egg that I covered with wax. I need to build maternity ward for my dutch bantams.

a few days ago my 2 broodies had a fight and I found cold eggs. I put them in incubator. when one broodie hatched 1 duch bantam I took the chick and gave her again 2 silkie eggs. yesterday another ex broody had a fight with the poor one and kicked out all 6 eggs (2 silkie) that she was sitting...

another black silkie hatched :wee the first one is 4 days old. the first broody has 3 dutch bantam chicks and 1 black silkie. she rejected a dutch bantam chick that hatched yesterday so I must make a cage for the other broody with 2 chicks and hope that the other 2 dutch bantam eggs hatch. I...

I had 2 broodies (dutch bantam) sitting together. 3 chicks hatched: 1 black silkie and 2 dutch bantams). I separated 1 broody with the chicks and left the other one on the eggs. some eggs were set/laid 2-3 days later. I hope to hatch more silkies.

ask someone more experienced. I don't dare to say anything.

I had bad luck with intergrating 3 mo chickens. good luck anyway.

you can separate both of them from the girls till they calm down. if you have a cage it will do. just no girls around.

that's what the roos do. they might fight each other instead of mating and you might get infertile eggs. watch them.

I'll try to get some eggs from bulgaria. a friend of mine will go there soon. I need some fresh blood.

my boys look like sheep dogs chasing sheep, lol.

my silkie ladies don't like my young boys. I am afraid I will not get fertile eggs.

looks like horn, lol.

sorry to hear that. my last years' first hatch was 10 silkies. 2 killed by the wyandotte broody, 7 died from 1 wo to 3 mo, 1 cockerel with pea comb survived. sold him as ornamental bird.

I love white fluffy balls but white silkies would be a magnet for hawks and eagles here.
